New Role

I have been away for a long while now. Reason - I have become a mom now. You can read more about my experience here.

Well, being a working mom means that I have no time for crafts. But how can I control my hands that itch to craft. I have resorted to sewing more now. It saves a lot of time and the results are quick. Crochet is off my list for some time now. I have already sewn a teeny tiny dress for my lil one. A simple single piece outfit for casual wear. Now she has almost outgrown it. My WIP project is a small tank top for her from an old top of mine. And also a small butterfly mobile as she loves to look at colorful objects.

See you later!:-)

Hand-Picked

Recently I joined an online community of crafters - ItsHandMade. There you can sell your handmade products. I came across it after a friend referred the site to me. First thing I like about the site was that it is very neat and organized.

I immediately put up a shop and uploaded two items for sale. I am not sure of the visitors or page ranking of the site. Though I haven't sold any yet, I have found some really cool crafty people.

And today, to my delight, I saw that my coaster is on the Handpicked page. No words to express my happiness.

See my coaster set at the left bottom corner?

Colourful

It has been a long while since I really did anything crafty, and hence no updates here. So what is it that I am going to post here. Nothing, but some small colourful things in my everyday life. The lovely evenings...
My tomato plant bearing its fruits...
Flowers...



A friend I found among the pots....

But she was already dead. I loved her deep purple wings and yellow head. I have her on my shelf though the boys have asked me to throw her away. I could not bring my mind to throwing her away. Lovely things, however small, add lot of colours to our lives.

Literally Nothing

Yes, I am literally working on none of the crochet works now. Wondering why? Because we are shifting again :-( It is tedious. Everyday I stuff up things into small boxes and bags, keep adding items to list and keep crossing them out. We are shifting from the current house on Saturday. So there is just a day left and lot of things left to do. So I have no time for anything interesting than packing up.

Yesterday I took a small cardboard box and stuffed up all my crochet yarn, unfinished projects, and everything into it. Waiting eagerly to get settled at the new house and start all over again. I even dream of having a craft room for self :-) In the current house though we had a spare room, I never got the time to set up one. Let's see if I ll be successful at the new house.

So you may not see any of my crafty posts until I get settled and get time to take photographs. I really don't like any of the crafty posts without photos in it. But I ll definitely try to keep you posted if I am able to do something.

Non-crafty Weekend

Usually weekends are when I have lots of time to crochet. But last weekend was a rather different one for me. I must say that I didn't even lay my hands on the crochet hooks over the two days. The reason - we had family visiting. And it was REAL FUN!!! We all enjoyed to the core. Hubby's cousins and uncle visited us. The week was full of hanging outs, shopping, cooking, eating, exploring new cuisines and restaurants, all cuddling up on the beds and chatting till very late into the midnights and dozing off sometime in between. The week definitely left us all exhausted for a working Monday but the happiness was unexplainable. Now we are all back to our normal lives.

And I have started with my crochet again.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! :-)
